OPERATION
1 NOTICE ]
Holding the ignition key in the START position for more than five
seconds may damage the starter.
5. If the engine fails to start, wait at least ten seconds before trying
again. If you can’t get the engine to start after multiple tries, refer
to Troubleshooting on page 99.
6. After the engine has started, slowly move the throttle lever from
CHOKE to a point halfway between SLOW and FAST while the
engine warms up.
7. Once the engine has warmed, you should
keep the throttle in the FAST position while
mowing. This keeps the blades spinning at
the proper speed (when the PTO is ON) and
provides the best cut quality.

Do not use the throttle to adjust the lawn tractor ground speed. Use
the shift lever to select a different speed instead. Slowing the lawn
tractor’s ground speed with the throttle causes the blades to spin
slower, and cut quality suffers.
